STB hood gap ?
Kind of a n00bish question, but this is the first set i've had in the seven years i've had the car.. I have the DC STBs and the front one is making my hood sit uneven resulting in a bit of a gap.. What bracing under the hood do I cut or bend in, and which is better to do? Cut or bend?

I'm guessing you are using the SRT front bar and not the non SRT bar?
I never had a problem with my flat hood sitting uneven, just the hood pad tabs making contact with the bar. I cut the tabs off and didn't have any more problems.

If I could just figure out how to meld the Outback and the Neon into one car...

I guess it's an SRT bar yeah.. Upon closer inspection after work I found out it was slightly bent upwards on the drivers side.. Like a little hump on that side.. A little session with a 3lb sledge and readjusting of the bar/hood/fender and all is well.

Don't mean to bump up a dead thread, but where was your gap, near the headlight or towards the back? Cause I have a slight gap near the front pass headlight, and I have the DC stb
